Course Registration - ISSS: Introduction to the Biological Cell

Module PMRF ISSS020

About the Course

Through this course we will explore the biological cell in-depth, to learn about the various processes that bring about order and organisation in the cell. This course will enable students to think at the molecular scale in biology, which is crucial to understanding the onset of various disease states. Accordingly, we will cover a module on cell biology from the perspective of infectious diseases. Each lecture will be accompanied with a discussion on relevant techniques scientists deploy to study the cell. We will conclude with a module on microscopy, which will include a brief introduction to the current exciting advancements in super-resolution microscopy.

  • Cells and their structure
  • Intracellular compartments and protein sorting
  • Intracellular organisation and the cytoskeleton
  • The cell cycle and cell death
  • An infectious disease perspective on cell biology
  • History and current advancements in microscopy
